Credit(ibility) Crisis - We Hear You
Political Risk
 Rising resource nationalism
 Will be more accurately priced
Capital Discipline
 Key focus
 Capital less freely available and more expensive
Delivery
 Deliver on guidance
 No surprises
Dividends
 More focus on returns to shareholders
Consolidation
 Single asset companies will find funding new
projects more difficult and expensive

The Evolution Value Proposition
Australia
 Low risk - first world jurisdiction
 Second largest gold producer globally
 Improving cost profile
Delivery
 Delivering on guidance Q-on-Q since creation
 Delivering a significant growth project
 Delivering on exploration upside
Gold Dividend
 Dividend linked to gold production and gold price
Growth
 Exploration funded through strong cash flow
 Opportunistic, logical acquisitions
 Newcrest relationship
